14.05.10 Festivities in Zalaegerszeg

In 2006 we opened our fifth Hungarian branch office in Zalaegerszeg to the west of Lake Balaton and north of the Croatian border. After initially being accommodated in a rented hall, the office's increasingly profitable business operations lead to the purchase of a property in 2008 and to the commencement of construction work on a real office in 2009. This building has been completed a while ago, with the showroom set up, the storage facilities stocked and the offices furnished.

  

On 14 May in the first days of spring, extensive celebrations were held to officially inaugurate the branch office.

 

A welcome speech by regional manager Tibor Varsanyi and local manager Istvan Waller as well as a performance by the Zalaegerszeg dance ensemble marked the beginning of the festivities.

 

Over 400 visitors first enjoyed an excellent buffet and were then given a tour of the various rooms in order to convince them of JafHolz's expertise as a supplier of timber and timber products.

  

The festive programme offered a lot of variety and included a show band, a cocktail bar and various activities for the visiting children. There was something for everyone.

  

There was also a tombola with many lovely prizes at 4:30 p.m. and the celebrations continued well into the night, with the guests enjoying their socialising and listening to the Vegas Show Band.
